What does "administration" mean? Isn't Gonzales a key player? Or is Bush the only member of the Administration?

Do you remember the Saturday night massacre? It still was not sufficient to bring down the administration. Gonzales is just another layer in a multilayer protection scheme. The administration is Cheney and his front man George Jr. Gonzales is just another expendable pawn. Easily isolated and fired as if he - not the administration - was the culprit.

Remember, Brown of FEMA then decided to not be a fall guy. What did that honesty get him? Even his boss who was guilty of mismanagement during Katrina got away unscathed even after Brown refused to take the blame. Gonzales will (probably) not be punished enough to 'give up' his bosses.
